Samenvatting:

In this second edition of a best-selling handbook all the chapters have been completely revised and updated, while four completely new chapters have been added. In order to meet the needs of the practitioner, emphasis is placed on describing precisely the technology and know-how involved.

Synthetic chemistry has long been dominated by reactions in solvents that are all too often toxic or otherwise damaging to the environment. Thus, when it comes to minimizing the amount of toxic waste, solvents are an especially important factor, since they are usually used in large quantities. The introduction of cleaner technologies to replace harmful solvents has become a major concern. Yet the greenest solvent is no solvent at all.
In this second edition of a best-selling handbook all the chapters have been completely revised and updated, while four completely new chapters have been added. In order to meet the needs of the practitioner, emphasis is placed on describing precisely the technology and know-how involved. Adopting a didactic and comprehensible approach, the book guides the reader through theory and applications, thus ensuring its warm welcome among the scientific community.
An excellent, essential and exhaustive overview for chemists, as well as organic, polymer and physical chemists, and those working in industry.
